Back-to-back champions.

Cheers echoed and confetti showered down in Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Sunday afternoon.

No. 1 seed UCLA women’s basketball (31-1, 18-0 Big Ten) defeated No. 2 seed Iowa (26-6, 15-3) in a 96-45 blowout. The triumph marked the Bruins’ 25th consecutive victory, the largest victory margin in conference history and the 10th time in Big Ten history a team claimed both the regular season title and tournament trophy in the same season.
